I like to drive without VDC, but only when it's totally dry. And for the winter I just bought a Jeep.

Hey, I have the Z / Jeep combo too! GREAT combo for summer / winter fun. There's fairly modest storage capacities in both vehicles though so you develop some mad Tetris-packing skills pretty quickly

Cars today are a lot different then when I started driving in the early 70's.

Took my driving test in my brother's '68 Hemi RoadRunner.

Cars then didn't have any computer nannies, unlike today. Grew up sliding cars around in the snow.

My combo is the Z and a Dodge Dakota AWD, with a cap. I have tons of storage. I do like to drive off road now and again.
